Why is it that there are still people out there – manifested by views on this board as expressed at #15 – who still think that the Mullahs are pliable to Mutually Assured Destruction when the words of the Mullahs strongly suggest that they are not at all impressed with what massive retaliation can do to their country? Here we are, in the year 2008, and very many people still do not understand that it is a religious mindset that is supporting the genocidal instincts of the Islamic enemy. Our retaliation means nothing to people who do not value life and who EXPECT (honestly, and they’re not blustering)the 12th Imam and the Mahdi to come in on the clouds amidst the nuclear holocaust.

They don’t care if the dying gasp of the Jewish State sends hundreds of nuclear weapons hurtling towards all the Iranian urban centers. They don’t care what our boomer subs will let loose on them. They just don’t care.

As for those who want to get rid of ballistic missile defense, however they articulate it, in one form or other they believe that is has always been US who have destabilized the world from the very beginning. They really do believe if we would only unilaterally disarm that the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, and the Pakistanis (and everyone else, for that matter) would also beat their swords into ploughshares. Need I elaborate more on the insanity of this mindset?
